OOPS!

Okay....how did I get all the same pix???? Stephie said I should try to post a little something every day....see, that is why I don't.....I can never figure out why I goof up so much....anyway, I will try again...the oops was for all the junk that fell over in my studio when Opal was over sewing with me. Luckily it didn't land on us or her sweet Cinda Lou doggie. I am working on the quilt to the left. It is a challenge, and the challenge now is to put all those beads and buttons etc. on for embellishments. I am getting tired already, and have lots more to go. I tip my hat to those who sit and hand sew or do all that fancy stitching and embellishing. I did get the sleeve on my koi threadwork quilt, which I think I got posted....I actually quilted the sleeve so the stitching would match the back better than just a piece of black fabric. I rather like how it turned out.

Tomorrow I am hoping to finish a client quilt and then maybe another one of mine. Our quilt show is coming soon, so the embellishments need to get done right away. Well, since I need to go and work on that piece...guess I better get going....good nite, Stephie.....this one is for you!! Judy

Oops..double oops....I don't know what button I pressed, but I posted a title before I was ready.

About Me

Hello, my name is Judy Irish, and I am a fabric/quil-taholic. I started out quite normal, and not addicted until after graduating from Michigan State University in 1964. With a degree in English/art, I soon began getting involved in all kinds of shady activities….drawing, tole painting, oil painting, jewelry making, stained glass, and on and on. There was little going on in the quilt world at that time, but I managed to do wall hangings, some quilts and fabric art gifts for friends and such, but could never quite get rid of my cravings for this terrible temptation. Over the next 20 years or so I kept things under control with occasional quilt shows and projects….but thankfully my busy schedule of teaching did not allow me to run amok completely.
I hope you will tune in to my blog to see what I have been up to!
